"Can you still walk?"
Helping Lian Qiao out of the cell, her steps were unsteady, her whole body weak and powerless.
Yun Chunnuan felt both heartbroken and responsible.
She only wanted to give her a surprise, mistakenly thinking she was still being specially cared for in the Barbarian General’s private prison.
Unexpectedly...
She had risked everything to save her, twice.
Even though she knew in her heart, even without Lian Qiao, her husband would never let her be harmed.
But this sincerity and gratitude, how could it be just words?
She memorized it in her heart, thinking of quickly solving the issue of the people of Sha Hai Country, which was the most important thing for her, her husband, and those innocent souls.
Yet she hadn’t realized Lian Qiao was suffering in the cell.
A few days ago, the brilliant beauty was now in disarray, her face haggard.
But the moment the Little Princess appeared, a beam of light entered her eyes, "I’m fine! Madam, are my clansmen not going to die?"
Lian Qiao dared not ask, yet had to.
"They won’t be executed, just in the future you must..."
Before the words were finished, Lian Qiao’s legs gave way, and she directly knelt before the Little Princess, "Your great kindness and virtue, I, Lian Qiao, will never forget! No matter what you want me to do, even if it’s to be an ox or a horse, I will..."
These days, suffering torment in the prison, the string that had been tightly stretched in Lian Qiao suddenly relaxed.
Her voice grew weaker and she fell directly to the ground...
The next day upon awakening, Yun Chunnuan had just finished instructing the maid, preparing to leave.
She was called out by Lian Qiao, who had climbed up from the bed with difficulty, "Madam..."
She was still very weak, having not eaten for several days, always one with a loud voice, now sounded like she was out of breath.
"Awake?"
Yun Chunnuan briskly walked over, though her soft and tender body had considerable strength, she picked up Lian Qiao directly and placed her back on the bed.
Lian Qiao was completely bewildered, "So, it’s not the General I fainted for..."
"What are you thinking? My husband can only carry me!" The Little Princess giggled, "You’re acting strange, shouldn’t the first thing you care about upon waking be your people?"
Lian Qiao couldn’t help rolling her eyes, "I was just scared by you, thank you, Madam, for bringing me back! That rotten man I don’t care about!"
"It wasn’t me either, my husband couldn’t bear for me to be tired."
Lian Qiao: "..."
Listen, is this even human speech?
A poor woman who can’t even see her sweetheart, sick and weak, wakes up to suffer this kind of ’torment’!
"Don’t provoke me, be careful I stop loving He Lang and turn to infatuation with the General, and snatch him away!"
The Little Princess slightly lifted her phoenix eyes, "Go ahead and snatch, just don’t cry."
Tsk.
What was with her eager demeanor?
Looking for excitement?
"Are you so sure that the General will always love only you? What if you age and fade and a woman more beautiful than you appears..."
"I don’t entertain such assumptions." Yun Chunnuan decisively interrupted Lian Qiao’s words, "Cherishing the present and being happy is enough. If he stops loving, I will let go.
However, I trust him and believe in myself even more.
I understand your worries, but this is a matter between us, parents are merely observers, don’t you agree?"
Lian Qiao paused, "Sorry, I was being meddlesome."
This seemingly joking remark was actually something Lian Qiao had wanted to remind the Little Princess about.
Growing up in the royal family, she had seen too many loves that seemed everlasting and vowed couples who said they only had each other.
Women could guard men till old age.
But the men? Not one could truly stick to one woman for a lifetime.
When a woman bore a child and her figure changed, it was the beginning of their infidelity.
The Little Princess is so wonderful, Lian Qiao hopes she will not be hurt.
Even if it’s the General, he cannot.
Taking this opportunity, she voiced her inner concerns to her...
Now it seems, she was meddling.
The Little Princess is not the delicate woman she imagined, she has her own opinions and courage, had single-handedly saved more than a hundred people in Sha City, proving she possesses strategies as well.
Her inner qualities far surpassed her outward appearance.
She’s the most interesting person Lian Qiao has seen in her lifetime.
Such a woman, even if her beauty fades, will certainly live out her own color.
Yes, cherish the present.
She must continue striving for her own happiness too!
"What’s there to apologize for? Alright then, aren’t you curious about the situation of Sha Hai Country’s people? There’s still much work for you to do, Lian Qiao, cheer up!"
